I can't reproduce this under "emacs -Q" either.
I think we need more information here. I suspect that this issue is
related to some package or configuration you do, possibly with regards
to the mode-line.

Possibly. You could try running this to see if it makes any difference:
(which-func-update-1 (get-buffer-window))

After my attempts reproducing the bug and reading the code, I doubt
that. But it's possible.

That variable is t in buffers that support which-function-mode. IOW,
this is expected.

Maybe you have more time to investigate this today than you did when
this was first reported?
Lacking more information, I unfortunately think it will be hard to get
much further here.
